Serena

Serena is an enthusiastic Pokémon Trainer and Performer from the Kalos region and was one of Ash's traveling companions during his journey in the Kalos region. Her main goal is to be named Kalos Queen, the highest prestige achievable for Pokémon Performers. She and Ash met before the events of the series when Ash aided her in her time of need. She developed a strong crush on him from that day on and it became one of her most notable characteristics, evident through her blushing whenever she looks at, talks to, or is amazed by him.

Personality
Serena is a very kind and polite girl. She is always concerned about what her friends are doing and is always supported of them. She also has a passion for fashion and clothes as she tries to find the prettiest clothes. Knowing this, she hates getting dirty and being soaked in mud. Much like May, Serena adores trying out the various popular food spots in cites and towns, especially deserts. Serena would sometimes get flustered and would blush quite heavily, shown mainly when someone brings up her crush on Ash and when Penelope requested him to be with her before discovering what she really meant. Through her journey, Serena went through a great change in her personality as she became a very strong and determined girl, shown when she remains herself of Ash's motto "Don't give up till it's over" and when she would take hits for her Pokémon. Serena can sometimes blame herself for problems that occur or whenever she fights with her friends despite everyone around her telling her that it's alright or assuring her that it wasn't her fault.
